Residence Duk Meyersdal by Nico van der Meulen Architects:

“The customers short was for a spacious home that expressed its appreciation for outside living. An open plan and sensible residence that lived out onto the garden was of utmost value to them. Consequently the fashion designed into a layout that encouraged this kind of a life-style. With views to the backyard from almost each room, and big living places that seamlessly flowed out onto the covered patio, this property merges the thresholds amongst inside and outdoors.

Gracefully positioned within a secured nature reserve that affords you the privilege of appreciating the comfort of outdoor residing, this specified residence was inspired by its individual setting. Natural supplies had been cautiously picked and strategically placed during the house serving as gentle reminders of the serene area this home finds itself in. The option of components assisted in ensuring the home blends in discreetly with its natural surroundings even though earthy colors unify the internet internet site with the property. Splashes of colour have been utilised to liven the interior spaces with emphasis offered to textures and furnishings.

The idea incorporated the notion of floating parts which resulted in distinctive functions that distinguish this property as a Nico van der Meulen masterpiece. The notion is clear and evident from the second you arrive as your curiosity is drawn to floating planes hovering over you, as if suspended in mid air. Upon closer inspection these planes appear to be the main roof framework which at 1st appeared to be far much more of a decorative function rather than a practical requirement. It is this really principle in layout that generates gorgeous and practical homes which turn into architectural operates of artwork. Moving via the house and catching a glimpse of the floating staircase, you are drawn in by the transparency and openness of this residence. Escorted graciously by means of the residing spaces into the backyard, you are after as soon as more launched to what looks to be a floating block hovering in mid air which in truth is the principal bedroom. The notion of floating parts was evident from each perspective and vantage point making certain this house always captivated your interest.

The internet site has a southern entry which was favorable in that it permitted for the full northern façade in which all the residing rooms are positioned to open up onto a private north facing backyard. The web internet site sloping upwards in the direction of the north also resulted in the garden obtaining to be stepped and terraced with gabion walls creating interest even in the landscaping.

Acquiring a garden that is on a various degree can often pose the dilemma of a disconnection amongst the covered patio and the pool/garden spot. It was of utmost value to make confident that the residence and garden still connected and interacted as one particular specific space rather than two disconnected places. This was achieved by leveling the pool area and terracing the upper components of the backyard.

The very best element of this design is the way the entrance entices your curiosity with extended stone cladded display walls and as quickly as inside, the transparency and openness of this residence that lies behind these powerful entrance walls generates exciting contrast.”
